One of the Recommendations of Attor-
ney General Garland.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-The annual report
of Attorney General Garland Yves trans
mitted to Congress to-day. The Attorney
General calls attention to the suggestion
and recommendations made by him in his
last annual report in regard to ma tiers call
ing for remedial legislation and again
thereon. These subjects are as follows
Fees of marshals III the Terri
tories; pay of deputy marshals;
revision of the fee bill; substitution of the
fiscal for the calendar year; protection to
civil officers and witnesses; fees Of witnesses
and Jurors; criminal procedure; perjury
and laws, and juries in the District of
Columbia. In chapter in regard to the
confinement and treatment OF United States
prisoners, the Attorney General says he is
now more than ever convinced of the abso-
lutte need Of o government penitentiary and
reformatory.
He saws that the cost of conducting gov
ernment penitentiary will not be greater
eventually than the cost of subsisting
prisoners in various penitentiaries through
out the country will be-
AN INQUIRY ADVOCATED.
He advocates the appointment of COM
mission to inquire into the advisability of
building a government penitentiary and
TGlOIIlldJDIH,
that the United States should have model
prison and reformatories of its own in
which to confine its criminals and in which
provisions could be made for the employ
ment of the inmates at some suitable in
dustries on system Of labor which would
not violate the recent act of Congress, nor
be inconsistent with the laws passed
by the several States and prevailing opin-
ions relative to the subject of contract
labor. The Attorney General says that in
creased expenses in the service Of process
has been the experience of the department
since the passage of the interstate commerce
bill. Prior to the passage of that bill
marshals were furnished with free transpor-
tatlon over the various lines of railway
while in the service Of process. Since that
date. however, no free transportation is
furnished and the railways charge mileage
greater than the fee allowed the marshal
for his travel in such service.

NJ. Ribot and other leading Republicans
President Sadi-Carnot in an interview

earnest desire to do his duty and sink
self on every occasion when
his personal views might conflict with pub

must always exist two greNt Republican
parties, the President said it would be posi-.
Bile in elect ons for them to unite against

States Cannot Tax Them for Doing
Business in Their Confines.
GALVESTON, TEX, Dec. 6.-In the United
States District Court to-day Judge Sabin
rendered decision on the habeas corpus
case Of Robert G. Stockton, drummer for
a Kansas City firm, releasing him
from arrest and the custody of
the State authorities for his refusal to pay a
drummers tax Of $35. The Travellers Pro-
tsctive Association made a test case Of
Stockton's arrest. The court declares the
law to be void in it's application to foreign
drummers for the reason that it conflicts
with section eight of the Federal constitu-
tion, which gives Congress sole power to
regulate interstate commerce. The decision
is an important victory for the drummers
of the Southwest.

silver holds IFS value in the neigllborbood

in the success Of that metal rests the
